Merry and Bright

 


I absolutely adore the Season of Beauty stamp set, it’s so versatile. I love that you have the option to colour with copics or just use the stamps to make layered ink poinsettias. 

I’m sure you all know by now that copics colouring was the way to go for me. Pink and Red seem to be really on trend this Christmas and I’m definitely making the most of it. 

I went for a distress oxide background for this card combining kitsch flamingo, Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple. Adding the lighter colours in the centre and darker around the edge to add a vignette to draw your eye to the centre of the image. I always add some splatters of shiny white kuretake paint and add some dots of colour with gel pens. 

For the flowers I stamped them with memento tukedo ink and coloured with my trusty copics. Starting with R89 at the edges then bringing in some R46 and R29 and for the highlights R20. I might go back in with R89 if I feel the edges need darkening up a little. I coloured up some little leaves too and layered them onto my card. Finishing up with a sentiment from the Simply Said Block Christmas stamps and that’s my card all finished up!
